As you all know, we moved away from Connected Franchise Mode, and contacted one of our long time league members to build us a "League Daddy" if you will. Our very own database, using PHP and SQL, where people can enter their own player stats and game stats manually, and have it populate into a nice standings, player stats, and player leaders graphic. That is exactly what we did in January of 2013. This is what we have been using ever since, and it has been a wonderful experience. We now have the freedom to play as many games per set as we want, we have the freedom to let coaches go on vacation, and we have the freedom to schedule games when we can, and not be rushed.

The following tutorial will show you exactly how to enter your stats, game recaps, and scoring summaries:

Step 1: Login to the website http://www.leaguecentral.net/MOF/ with the credentials that were given to you by the Commissioner:

Step 2: Click on your team logo, and that will enter you into your teams page:

Step 3: Click the "OPEN" button next to the game that you just completed:

Step 4: Now you must click the "GAME INPUT" button to enter your stats:

Step 5: There is a specific order that you must enter your game. First you must enter the game score, then click "INPUT SCORES". You will then see the score populate.

Step 6: After you input the scores, you will then input the Game Stats and select "ENTER GAME STATS".

Step 7: After you have entered your game stats, you will then enter the scoring summary which will automatically give you enough selections based on the score of the game. After you input all of the scores, select "INPUT SCORING SUMMARY."

Step 8: After you have entered the scoring summary, now it is time to enter your player stats. Remember, you must enter all of your stats, not just offense, or just defense, etc. You must enter everything, as much as you can. After you enter your player stats, select "ENTER (HOME OR VISITOR) PLAYER STATS". (You might receive an error after inputting your player stats, do not be alarmed they have saved. Just click "Back" on your internet browser and you will see they are still there. Or it might take a little while for the stats to input, just let it save and do not refresh the page.) 

Step 9: After you have entered your player stats, we will now enter the Game Recap. (Remember Game recaps are only for teams who won the game). The first thing you want to do is enter the Main title. This will be the title of the recap, bold letters. Then enter the sub title, this will be the line under the recap title, usually smaller font and not bold. Now the image link. Usually the best thing to do is google an image, say if Colin Kaepernick was your player of the game and you played the Cowboys. Google "Kaepernick Cowboys" and find the picture you like. Make sure its a pretty large image that has good resolution, it will show better on the recap. Right click on the image you like, and grab the Image URL. An image URL will always end in a .jpg .png .gif or .bmp extension. Usually you will see it end in a .JPG that means its an image. If it ends in .HTM or .HTML or .PSP or something, that is the actual page and not the image, and it will not show, so make sure it ends in an image extension. After you enter your image link, write up your recap and choose "SUBMIT RECAP."

Step 10: This is what your game recap will look like when it's completed. You did it!:
